Members of the Atlantic School District’s Board of Education will hold a special meeting beginning at noon, on Wednesday. The meeting takes place virtually, via YouTube. During their session, the Board will act on awarding the purchase of 1,425 Chromebook licenses to Rick’s Computer repair, of Danbury (IA), in the amount of $35,625. Technology Director Roger Warne received three identical quotes for Chromebook licenses. By approving the request, Superintendent Steve Barber says it would represent the first step in upgrading the District’s current Pre-K through 12 1:1 (One-to-one) program.

Rick’s Computer provides repair services for the District’s computers. Mr. Barber says since the money on all three of the quotes are identical, he feels it would be best to award the quote to Rick’s, based on the company’s relationship with the District.
